But the ABC prime time Saturday game is in HD and there was at
least 1
other football game in HD on ABC this afternoon. As I understand it,
the
major issue with doing all the regional college games in HD is not
just
cameras & production trucks, but the number of HD games that can be
uplinked to ABC and then broadcast to the stations around the US.

We are not yet at the point where all major weekend sporting
events
are in HD. There is a lot more HD than last year and will be more
complete HD coverage next year. For example, CBS recently announced
that
ALL of their men's golf events in 2007 will be 100% HD (no mobile SD

cameras). Getting there in steps.

So Bob and Elmo and Thumper predict that the networks (and the
independant production facilities), after buying the new HD gear, will
go back to delivering programming in SD.
